Drawmer Compressor

The Drawmer 1968 MK2 Compressor is a 1U Tube/FET stereo bus compressor that delivers a transparent open sound even during periods of heavy compression. Utilising a J-FET gain reduction circuit and a 12AX7 tube makeup gain amplifier, the 1968 MK2 offers a blend of valves and FETs for quality compression. The Drawmer 1968 MK2 Compressor is a dual channel vacuum tube compressor offering 2 soft-knee compressors with variable threshold, attack, release and output gain. The original Drawmer 1960 used a tube stage at the front of the compressor, whilst the Drawmer 1968 MkII utilises a J-FET (Field Effect Transistor) gain reduction circuit that operates faster than an opto-isolator. The compressor uses a 12AX7 tube makeup gain amplifier where you can add, with the Output Gain control, up to 20 dB of additional gain. The need for a ratio control has been removed as the compressor operates on the soft knee principle where the onset of compression is progressive. The Drawmer 1968 MkII expands attack times to six choi...
